What random non-firearm junk did you buy online today?

I bought a new safety razor from Henson Shaving. The blade refills are so much cheaper. The razor costs a fair amount but the blades are so much cheaper to buy over time. I have used this shaver over the past week with great results so far.

I'd love to buy one of there's but my Merkur has been working great for years.

I bought a 200 count pack of razors 2yrs ago roughly, for about $13 I'm almost halfway through the pack...

Yeah, I use a safety razor, brush, bowl, and cream all from Viking Blades. Love it.

Been using a Safety razor since I started shaving, usually a classic Parker razor and either Murkur or Feather blades! I have a small collection of old razors, some adjustable, most fixed, but they all do the job perfectly, and the blades are so damn cheap that even disposables don't compare either price or quality of shave!

I picked up a project quad a week or so ago, so far I have bought a battery, brake master cylinder, neutral relay, seat cover, spark plug, a set of front axles, start/kill switch, It is going to need tires too. I got it running saturday, I figure I can have it ready to ride for under a grand all in! It is a 2000 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 the plastics and racks are in decent condition, just off for ease of access.

I bought a straight razor years ago. One time investment, will never cost me a thing going forward besides maintaining the edge. Way, way better than the disposables at grocery stores

I am old school and just using insulted rail joiners for my N scale trains. I have two Tech-4 Rail Power 250 and MRC Tech-4 Walk around that plugs into Tech-4 controller. Should be enough for two trains running at once hopefully.

I ordered some new Belleville 700 boots from TacticalGear.com. My old pair of the same boots are 10 years old now and soles are warn out. My old pair are still waterproof so I am going to transition them into yard work duty.

I have both straight razor with replaceable blades and a safety razor. I prefer using the straight razor, I get a really close shave and it's gentle on my skin. And when I don't want to put a lot effort into not cutting myself I use the safety razor.

And like you said, it's not expensive once you have it, blades are very cheap!

First Class Bro!

Those look much better quality than the Chinese knockoff Viet-Nam Combat Boots I got from Major Surplus 30 years ago that I had to keep outside on the patio because they stunk all the time.

Today I ordered a 36 foot cord for a vacuum cleaner I'm restoring.

Vacuum cleaners are like many other consumer products. The ones sold today are generally disposable and not that well made. Except for some high end products like Miele and Sebo. Consumer grade machines are mostly crap. In years gone by, you bought a vacuum cleaner to last many years. With a modicum of care, they could last decades.

After I retired from real work, I was in business for quite a few years repairing vacuum cleaners and carpet cleaning machines. For a while, I would work on anything. Later, I narrowed my focus and concentrated on better models. Not necessarily top end stuff, but well-proven models of consumer grade machines. Mostly Hoovers and Kenmores (Panasonic) from the golden era of plastic vacuum cleaners, 1995-2005. I also worked on lots of commercial machines, like Sanitaire which was often used in the hospitality business.

These days, I only work on them as a hobby. If a good one comes my way, I might restore it and later find a deserving person to gift it to.

Vacuum cleaners aren't as omni present in homes these days as they once were. Many households now have hard floors vice carpet. Which is another subject entirely. Wood and hardwood floors were eclipsed by wall-to-wall carpet, which in turn was displaced in large part by hardwood (again) and vinyl materials.
We have some of both here. But as an old person, I prefer carpet in the parts of the house that I use most (except kitchen and bathrooms, obviously). Carpet is not only easier on the feet, it softens the blow if you fall. It also adds a bit more insulation to the floor.
